The decision to turn O?Reilly loose appears to have been made between Tuesday and Wednesday by the Murdochs, the family who control the operations of Fox News parent 21st Century Fox. O?Reilly has been off the air since last Wednesday, part of what was billed a planned vacation around the Easter holiday. He had initially planned to return to his 8 p.m. show ?The O?Reilly Factor? on April 24. But as outrage mounted and new allegations of inappropriate behavior surfaced, it became clear to the Murdochs and other leaders of Fox News parent company 21st Century Fox that the company could no longer afford to back the star who helped bring Fox News to prominence nearly 20 years ago.

True that but what's in conflict here is all the religious fanatics waving the flag of family values just like the station they praise. I know. I work with them. When I suggested to one of them earlier today that O'Reilly was going to crash and burn they told me I was full of fake news. An hour later the news hit. Haha

Still arguing politics in an issue that has nothing to do with politics, or religion..?? Except maybe the politics of how rich and powerful men think they're entitled to harass women who are underlings or colleagues.

Maybe we should all focus on what to do with these jerks?? Maybe we should talk about what were doing wrong as a society that men keep doing this? Ahhhhh, not gonna happen is it?? Lol

Ask any trump supporter on here about his comments about grabbing women, and they'll tell you it was "locker room talk". Republicans who parrot that garbage are part of the problem, since it lends credence to that kind of deplorable behavior. Wake up SSFG.

they both turn a blind eye or don't you read?? I see you are also turning a blind eye to completely try and circumvent the real problem by worrying about the comments of by standers with an agenda. Who cares.I'm not as worried about comments as I am ACTIONS. What's your solution Fuzz?

Democrats have put far more into action for women's rights and equality than you'll probably admit. Republicans are bent on stripping them away. Or will you turn a blind eye to that too??

Really...HRC didn't even pay the ladies who worked for her the same as the men that did. The ladies got less. The democrats always talk a good game but never do anything. They have their own set of rules.

Still waiting Fuzz. Let's stay on track. WHAT is your solution to get men to stop sexually harassing women in the work place?? Sexual assaults on college campuses is way up too. So the younger generation is on track to not be different that the Bill O'Reileys of the current climate.

Is it a desire to control, manipulate and degrade women?? Are they threatened by the advancements women made and just do it bc women are there in the work place now? Is it cultural? Societal? Both? Is it bc women are objectified in ads and porn and cinema? Why do men think this is ok??

An excerpt:"Dutch sociobiologist Johan van der Dennen believes power itself is corrupting. In a May 2011 interview with SPIEGEL ONLINE about the relationship between sex and power, he speculates that powerful men may behave differently because they can:Powerful men have a both an overactive libido as compared to 'normal' men, but they are also more willing to gamble that they can get away with their sexual activities....[I]n my opinion, it is the position of power itself that makes men arrogant, narcissistic, egocentric, oversexed, paranoid, despotic, and craving even more power, though there are exceptions to this rule. Powerful men generally have a keen eye for female beauty and attractiveness....Every "willing" woman confirms the power of the powerful man....It is not too speculative to think that powerful men live in a sexualized or eroticized world. Not only do they expect to have sex whenever they fancy, but they also expect that every woman is always willing to provide this service, and enjoy it. They are...opportunistic and just take what they want. It probably comes as a complete surprise when somebody does not comply. The forbiddenness, and the awareness of transgression, makes the sex even more attractive..."
